The news seems to get stranger all the time. In Ottawa yesterday, our 'First Nations', the politically correct term for our native Indian 'Buckskin Brothers' had demanded a meeting with the Prime Minister, Stephen 'Hairspray' Harper, but then many of the chiefs refused to show up, because the Governor General wouldn't be there. He would instead host a dinner meeting with them later. Not good enough for them, apparently. Our natives seem confused. Not unlike problems we've had with our Francophones, they don't seem to realize that just as there's no second chance to make a first impression, there's also no second chance to win a lost war. Here's a report on the fiasco yesterday in Ottawa.
Also in the realm of the bizarre, the U.S. Government has received a petition to build a 'Death Star' as in 'Star Wars', and because they have to respond to all petitions with over 25,000 signatures, including this one, well, here's the story, told better than I might. Proving once again that you don't have to be crazy to live on this planet, but it sure helps! And I have terrible news for those petitioners: we're already living on a so-called 'death star' - thanks to our uncontrolled hormones and the fact that our total population is increasing a lot faster than our understanding of mathematics or common sense. Since I was born in 1932, there's now over three times as many people on this planet, and we can't possibly sustain that kind of increase. Climate change is us, folks.
